Raspberry Duck Breast

INGREDIENTS

4 Luv-a-Duck raw breasts
6 tablespoons raspberry vinegar
2 cloves crushed garlic
1 tablespoon tomato paste
250ml rich red wine
2 tablespoons red currant jelly or rasp jam (melted & strained)
2.5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
2.5 handfuls very ripe raspberries

METHOD

Score the fat side of the duck breasts with knife.
Season it well with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat a large skillet and when pan is hot, place the breasts skin side down using no oil. Cook for 3 mintues until skin begins to brown. Turn over and cook for another minute. Pour fat out of pan and set aside.
Place breasts into a hot oven 200C for 8 minutes. Take out and rest.
Deglaze the skillet used for frying with the vinegar, scraping up the pan juices.
Boil to reduce to about a tablespoon, about a minute.
Whisk in the garlic, tomato paste and red wine sauce.
Boil to reduce by half, about 5 minutes.
Whisk in the jelly/jam.
Remove from the heat, and whisk in the butter, a piece at a time to make a glossy sauce.
Toss in the fresh berries, reserving a few for garnish.
Thinly slice the breasts and arrange on a platter on a bed of roquette.
Spoon over sauce and serve.
